(796 posts)the ash falling all yesterday and today is very weird and it smells like campfire outside. our closed up house is even getting the smell cause the AC brings it in. left our car windows slightly open overnight, not realizing there would be a light coat over the inside now. parts of Troutdale under early evacuation warning are only a little over 6 miles, if that far, from my current location in NE PDX.
the destruction of this beautiful area is beyond a shame. those kids better have enjoyed their firecrackers in a tinderbox. dumbshits. don't care that they are young and dumb. if they are that dumb, they need to be under supervision at all times. shame on them and their so called parents.
the crazy thing is, we just booked a getaway in Stevenson for the beginning of Oct with a glorious view. wondering if it is still there and anticipating what we will see on trip out to the Gorge, if we get to go. i'm so sad just to think of the loss of old growth habitat, plus generational heritage of the development of the Gorge, both explorers and first peoples.
luckily we took a visiting friend out on the waterfall tour in july so we got to see it prior to destruction. positive vibes going out to everyone going through catastrophes.
